Cleveland!

Joe and I arrived in Cleveland late last night.

Today we explored downtown Cleveland, which was rather underwhelming. We did take a wrong turn and stumble upon a pretty amazing record store, featuring several displays full of bootleg rap, old school hip hop, and a full spectrum of 70's music. We left with James Brown, Rick James, and Legends of Motown Volume 5.

Then we cruised over to the Cayuhoga Valley National Park where we hiked for several hours.

Although nothing too memorable happened, this was my first weekday off in 8 weeks, so it was pretty amazing for me. Tomorrow we are off to Chicago where I can hopefully upload some photos.

On the Road

Michael and I are gearing up to head up to Saugerties tonight. After I leave my place tonight, I won't be back for 3 weeks, and then I'm moving out in 2 weeks, so it's pretty crazy to think that I'll only be in my loft for 2 more weeks.

Also, I'm really going to miss my new cat Chauncey.



Oh, and this guy.



(and you, too, mom)

Cheer up NY!

On Sunday, after 3 weeks of cold, rain, and traumatizing celebrity deaths, Joe and I are leaving New York on a southwest bound roadtrip. Our prospective route looks like this:

New York-Chicago-St Louis-Big Ben National Park-San Antonio-New Orleans-Knoxville


I have never been further south than Virginia or further west than Pennsylvania, so I am pretty excited. I just hope the whole 3 weeks are as cool as an old Marlboro commercial.
